The North Manchester and Bury Myeloma Support group was established in February 2007. 

The group aims to establish networks for people with Myeloma, their families and their carers.  It provides support for group members whilst respecting confidentiality at all times.  As the Constitution indicates it is run by people with Myeloma and their carers.  The Committee is a mixture of these people with support from the Clinical Haematology Nurse.

The group aims to enhance knowledge and understanding of Myeloma by receiving talks and demonstrations on topics of relevance and interest.  This includes gaining an up to date knowledge of myeloma and how to cope with the impact of living with the condition and the physical & psychological effect it has upon people with Myeloma their families & their carers.

The group meets every six weeks in the Elizabethan Suite, Bury Town Hall.  The meetings are on Mondays or Tuesdays from 1.00 p.m. until 3.00 p.m.  The format is very informal and we always start with a cup of tea/coffee and a chance to chat with other members.
